ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a vehicle equipped with MICHELIN
®
passenger or
light truck tires, you are covered by all the benets and conditions (subject to the
maintenance recommendations and safety warnings) contained in this booklet.
To ensure your understanding of and compliance with the terms and conditions
of this warranty, please read it carefully. It is essential that you also read and
understand the safety and maintenance recommendations for tires contained
in this booklet.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG?
MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires that are used in normal service on the
vehicle on which they were originally tted are covered as follows:
Workmanship and Materials
If there is a defect in workmanship and materials during the life of the original
usable tread, or six (6) years from date of purchase (whichever comes rst), your
tire may be replaced on a pro rata basis under this warranty. After six (6) years
or the wear of the original usable tread, whichever occurs rst, all warranties,
expressed or implied, expire.
The “date of purchase” refers to the date on your sales invoice. If you cannot nd
your sales invoice, the date will be calculated based on the date of manufacture
which is molded on the sidewall of your tire.
The “life of the usable tread” refers to the original tread worn down evenly
across the face of the tread to the level of the treadwear indicators, which is
2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread remaining. Uneven wear is dened as a
tread groove difference of 2/32nds of an inch or more across the face of the
tread on the same tire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
This warranty does not cover tires damaged due to misuse, abuse or accident
such as:
Road hazards (e.g., cuts, snags, bruises, impact damage or punctures);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance or improper repair;
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, underination, overination
or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechanical irregularity in the vehicle
such as wheel misalignment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch or more across the face of the tread on the same tire);
Accident, re, chemical corrosion, tire alteration or vandalism;
Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brakelock;
– The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other than air, nitrogen
or carbon dioxide (for example, waterbase sealers or balancing substances);
